Jared Stacy

Jared Stacy is the commissioner of police and young Stan's hero in the play "Blood Crieth Unto Heaven". Stan was a member of the Junior Detectives and invited Jared to his eighth birthday party as his guest of honor.

Stan recalls that it was at his party that his father left the family. Through the play, he recalls more details until his father Jack Smith completes the memory for him that he had to leave to try to escape being arrested. Jack had committed thefts of produce in a clown costume. When Stan had insisted on a clown for his party, his father had to don the suit and was recognized as the thief by Jared Stacy, forcing Jack on the run.
